Long, Interesting Read
Because of the success and rapid growth of fracking...the USA now finds itself quickly moving towards energy independence.
Ultimately...it may mean less pricing power and political influence for the current energy giants...like the Russians, Iran and Arab states.
Low cost nat gas from fracking...is being called Viagra for USA industrial growth...with the potential to spur massive job growth.
USA nat gas prices today are just 25% of the 2008 cost.
China and Argentina also have huge potential reserves.
Fracking is in its infancy elsewhere...but could eventually change the political balance of power...everywhere.
